Rocky Balboa (2006)

If you liked any of the Rocky movies, you really owe it to yourself to see this movie. What was great about the entire movie is that it actually felt like you were watching a true sequel to the first movie.

You can kind of tell that this is how Stallone wanted Rocky V to be, but he kind of fucked that up in the end.

In any case, I felt that dialogue was pretty strong with only a few lines coming off as either confusing or foolish. The writing was just as sharp as the first movie. I also liked how Mason wasn't a villain like Rocky III-V had, and was just another boxer trying to prove he wasn't a bum. It would have been nice to hear some new music to the movie, but the renditions of the old tunes were really nicely done.

Everyone in the theater I was in was really into the movie and I think most people enjoyed themselves.

This movie is a satisfying conclusion to the series. One of the best.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
